River Buna Revisited / Rijeka Buna ponovni posjet
About a week ago, we decided to head out to banks of river Buna. It is the perfect getaway when we only have an hour or two to spare. Weather that day was very odd. It was quite windy but quite warm. It is always tricky to get dressed for that kind of weather. I decided to wear a retro girly outfit, a sort of school uniform. I kind of felt like a young lady at the begging of the last century. I've had this silver silk blouse for a long time and I still love it. I think it is the only silk clothing item in my closet. The funny thing is that the wind kept undoing the bow on my blouse, so I had to tie it over and over again. Apart from that, this was the perfect outfit for that day.I know that the poloneck that is visible under the blouse won't be to everyone's liking, but I love wearing them like that. I felt very comfortable wearing this. I must have worn this vintage skirt a hundred of times, but I just can't get bored of it.
Prije otprilike tjedan dana, odlučili smo otići do Bune. To je savršeno mjesto za opustiti se kada imamo samo sat ili dva na raspolaganju. Vrijeme je toga dana bilo veoma čudno. Bilo je poprilično vjetrovito, ali toplo. Nije se lako odijenuti za takvo vrijeme. Odlučila sam se za djevojačku kombinaciju u retro stilu, neku verziju školske uniforme. Osjećala sam se pomalo kao mlada dama na početku prošloga stoljeća. Ovu srebrnu svilenu bluzu imam već dugo vremena i još uvijek je volim nositi. Mislim da je to jednini svileni odjevni predmet u mome ormaru. Smiješno je bilo to što mi se mašna (fijok) na bluzi stalno odvezivao zbog vjetra, pa sam ga morala ponovo i ponovo vezati. Ovo je i uz to bila idealna kombinacija za taj dan čini mi se. Znam da se svima ne sviđa nošenje dolčevite ispod bluze, ali ja ih volim tako nositi. Baš mi je bilo ugodno u ovoj kombinaciji. Sigurno sam ovu vintage suknju nosila stotinu puta, ali nikako da mi dosadi.

SOMEHOW THIS OUFIT MAKES ME THINK OF JANE AUSTEN AND HER NOVELS
“Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.”
I ALMOST FELT LIKE A HEROINE OF PRIDE AND PREJUDICE WEARING THIS!
“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.”
Pride and Prejudice
“I have been a selfish being all my life, in practice, though not in principle. As a child I was taught what was right, but I was not taught to correct my temper. I was given good principles, but left to follow them in pride and conceit. Unfortunately an only son (for many years an only child), I was spoilt by my parents, who, though good themselves (my father, particularly, all that was benevolent and amiable), allowed, encouraged, almost taught me to be selfish and overbearing; to care for none beyond my own family circle; to think meanly of all the rest of the world; to wish at least to think meanly of their sense and worth compared with my own. Such I was, from eight to eight and twenty; and such I might still have been but for you, dearest, loveliest Elizabeth! What do I not owe you! You taught me a lesson, hard indeed at first, but most advantageous. By you, I was properly humbled. I came to you without a doubt of my reception. You showed me how insufficient were all my pretensions to please a woman worthy of being pleased.”
Pride and Prejudice
“Occupied in observing Mr. Bingley’s attentions to her sister, Elizabeth was far from suspecting that she was herself becoming an object of some interest in the eyes of his friend. Mr. Darcy had at first scarcely allowed her to be pretty: he had looked at her without admiration at the ball; and when they next met, he looked at her only to criticise. But no sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she had hardly a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes. To this discovery succeeded some others equally mortifying. Though he had detected with a critical eye more than one failure of perfect symmetry in her form, he was forced to acknowledge her figure to be light and pleasing; and in spite of his asserting that her manners were not those of the fashionable world, he was caught by their easy playfulness. Of this she was perfectly unaware: to her he was only the man who made himself agreeable nowhere, and who had not thought her handsome enough to dance with.”
Pride and Prejudice
Pride and Prejudice
Paradise revisited. Buna river revisited. It is fascinating how the
landscape changes with the change of seasons. The little bridge in front
of the restaurant Kolo where we took a number of photos this Summer and
Autumn (here ) has been set aside as there is no need to for it now. The river
flooded the "little island" where the guests of this restaurant enjoyed
their meals. However, this place is just as beautiful in Winter as it is Autumn, Spring and Summer. Every season has its magic...and the magic of that the time in between the seasons is pretty potent, isn't it? It seems that time has arrived. Moreover, despite the fact that the river flooded the "island", I could smell the Spring in the air. It won't be long now. It is time to say goodbye to Winter.
Ponovni posjet raju, ponovni posjet Buni. Zanimljivo je kako se krajolik mijenja s godišnjim dobima. Mali most ispred restorana Kolo gdje smo se slikali često ovog ljeta i jeseni (ovdje ) nije u upotrebi jer za njim i nema potrebe. Rijeka je poplavila "mali otočić" gdje su gosti restorana uživala u jelu. No, ovo je mjesto jednako lijepo zimi kao i u jesen, proljeće i ljeto. Svako godišnje doba ima svoju čaroliju, a i ona čarolija na prijelazu godišnjih doba je poprilično jaka, zar ne? Čini mi se da je to vrijeme stiglo. Štoviše, unatoč tome što je rijeka potopila otočić, mogla sam namisirati proljeće u zraku. Uskoro će stići. Vrijeme je da se oprostimo od zime.

this is Buna river, it is situated in vicinity of Mostar city in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
DeleteWhat a gorgeous, dreamy place! Getaways of this kind are my favorite ones, the place looks so inviting and relaxing.
ReplyDeleteI totally understand how challenging it can be getting dresses at the beginning of 'transition months' from a season to another. Your outfit looks perfect, tho! :)

DeleteDear Ivana, this was excactly what I thought before I read your post: that on this day you wore a wonderful retro look! Such looks are absolutely fantastic on you - and I love the polo neck which is visible under the blouse. And no wonder you wear this skirt over and over again: I have a similar skirt which I like, too. Hopefully you had a wonderful weekend.

DeleteYou look really lovely- great vintage style here! And the hair is really cute and pretty- I wish I was more skilled at doing my hair! I find it very hard to do mine! xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm good at braiding my hair, but to be honest my hair is pretty easy to style.
DeleteHello pretty Ivana, how are you ?
ReplyDeleteYour outfit is very cute, I love your skirt. This vintage style is beautiful :)
I'm fine thank you!
DeleteWarm and windy weather definitely presents some fashion challenges but I think you made a very good styling choice. This outfit looks very smart and it has a retro feel to it somehow to me as well. River Buna makes for a dreamy and romantic backdrop.
ReplyDeleteyou're very sweet.
DeleteIt truly does have a very few centuries back look, prim and propper with a dash of fun. Lovely lady!
ReplyDeletemuch appreciated:)
DeleteIvana, you look every bit like a flight attendant here! Bet you must be very pretty in your uniform :D
ReplyDeleteyou know my uniform used to be bright red, so you're not far from truth:)

ReplyDeleteYou look like a lady from the past and I do love it, you know. The whole attire is really lovely, the blouse is really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBesides, those photographs are fabulous, I was closely examining each of them!
Shame that the blouse kept getting untied as it really is beautiful! :) I like the colourful colour of your jacket too :)

Wow! This is a gorgeours look. Love the combination of colors! xx
ReplyDeleteKao da su neke stare crno bele fotografije "oživele" i dobile boju :) Stvarno podsećaš na neku damu iz prošlih vremena i taj stil ti savršeno pristaje. Svilena bluza je baš bezvremenski komad i meni se lično jako dopada kako ide uz rolku i celu kombinaciju. Frizura ti je preslatka takođe i sva si kao neka Crvenkapica u šumi :) Dobro sam zapamtila to divno mesto koji odiše čarolijom čak i u ovo doba godine. Prelepo! :)
ReplyDeletethis look is so climatic like in the movie from 40'S and the bag !!! my Granny even did't have such a great bag (she was so elegant in that time) I Love

Bas prava dama! Bluza sa masnom je prekrasna, divno zenstvena i romanticna. Lepo si je iskombinovala uz crveni sako i siru suknjicu, a i dolcevita ne smeta uopste :-) Bas dobar izbor za ove lude februarske dane, tople, a strasno vetrovite :-)

Definately I agree with you that each season of the year has its magic and to be honest, personally I find the Spring as the most beautiful season, because everything is waking up to life :) I'm really glad that you and your hubby were pleased with that trip to the riverside and you look so lovely in your outfit, Ivana, especially I like your red jacket, it looks like tailor-made and has stunning, bright color :)

This is such a beautiful outfit! I love the bow on the blouse. It looks great with the polo neck sticking out. I love how your hair is done as well. You look amazing! And that is so interesting that the little island flooded. It still looks like a beautiful place.
